Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Mortgage Process Explained

Arranging a mortgage

This section is all about helping you to understand the mortgage process.

It's all here, from finding which type of mortgage is right for you, to understanding the role of mortgage advisers and the importance of property insurance.

(You should also make sure you read leaflets, factsheets and the Key Facts Illustration, relating to the product you choose or have been recommended to take.)

If you have any questions that aren't covered, please visit one of our branches and talk to our mortgage advisers, or call us on 0345 1200 842

We sometimes have to use technical words or phrases, so don't forget to use our Glossary if you find anything unfamiliar.

Keeping you up to date with your application

Once you have completed a mortgage application we will keep you informed of its progress using our mortgage application tracking service. We will contact you at each of the following stages:

  • upon receipt of your application
  • when we have issued an acknowledgement, advising you of any outstanding items
  • when we have approved and issued your offer
  • when we have received your certificate of title

It is important that you provide us with a valid email address, and mobile telephone number as we will update you via SMS and email.
